... that was a thought I had. I too love this thing.
But then again, when not using this circuit as originally intended I'm  
not sure if you really need 40 fixed bands.
For that sounds Scott posted a good handful of tunable filters should  
do it (hence my question about the number of bands involved).
Besides the wiring I wouldn't have the space for such a big panel.
I definitely need to do a lot more reading about bandfilters.  ;-)
